A 19-YEAR-OLD has been arrested after she allegedly killed her baby by putting it in a rubbish bag after giving birth in a Mexican restaurant toilet.

Police say Estela Ruiz-Gomez and her mother Lorenza Gomez Rodriguez, 41, were arrested in Greenville, South Carolina after a worker taking out the rubbish saw the newborn fall out of a hole in the bag.

“Greenville County EMS arrived on the scene, advised that the baby had a heartbeat and rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.”

The spokesman added: “When Deputy Coroners Dill and Edmonds returned to the restaurant for further investigation, other employees told them a different version of events than the original one provided the day of the incident.

“The manager informed them that Estela Ruiz-Gomez, the baby’s mother, busses tables at the restaurant and Lorenza Gomez Rodriguez, the baby’s grandmother, is a dishwasher.

“According to the employees, Estela went to the bathroom during her break because her stomach was hurting. When the manager went to get Estela out of the bathroom at the end of her break, she stated that her stomach still hurt and the manager went to get Lorenza to check on her.

“A short time later, Lorenza exited the bathroom and explained that Estela needed to go to the hospital.

“Shortly after they came out of the bathroom, a female employee emptied the trash in the men’s and women’s restrooms.

A worker at the restaurant found the baby while taking out the rubbish

“Because she was having difficulty lifting the trash bag, she dragged the bag across the parking lot, causing it to tear, and a newborn baby fell out of the bag onto the pavement.”

The statement added: “Estela’s boyfriend (the baby’s father), who was present when the baby fell out of the trash bag, retrieved the baby from the ground and took him back inside the restaurant. It was at this point that EMS was called to the scene.”
